Friday Nights @ OMCA: "Black Friday" Night!

The holidays have begun, so take a break from your busy plans and bring your out-of-town guests to OMCA to enjoy fun, festivities, and food trucks from Off the Grid!

Savor California beer and wine in the amphitheater and check out all the galleries, live music, dance lessons, food demos, activities for kids, and more. Can’t get enough of Black Friday shopping? Visit the OMCA Store, full of artisan crafts and uniquely Californian gifts, or check out the pop-up holiday kiosk near the Koi Pond. Make your Thanksgiving weekend a warm one with OMCA.

What to expect on November 29:

Twelve gourmet food trucks from Off the Grid featuring the best in local cuisine

Salsa lesson with Nick and Serena in the amphitheater from 6:30 to 7 pm

Edgardo Cambon and his Latin Salsa 5tet LaTiDO in the amphitheater from 7 to 9 pm

A Snack Size Docent Tour, a fifteen-minute mini-tour led by a talented OMCA Docent to introduce you one of the Galleries—you won't know which until the tour begins!—meeting at the ticketing desk on Level 2 at 7:30 pm

A holiday kiosk where you can find something special to make the winter bright, on Level 2 in the OMCA Store
